Players make history at Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Sophia Li of Fresh Meadows, New York, made history as she made both putts, from 30 and 15 feet, to win the Girls 10, 11 Division at the Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals at Augusta National on Sunday. Li became the first girl in the six-year history of the event to make both. “It’s so exciting I can’t find a word for it, really,� Li said with a laugh. “It’s such a big event. I’m shocked to win it. It kind of feels like a responsibility to the other kids. I have to inspire them and allow them to follow their dreams.� Garret Ebbert of Longwood, Florida, who tied for third in the Boys 12, 13 Division, also made both putts. He and Li were just the second and third players to make both attempts in the putting portion of the Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals, which this year featured 40 boys and 40 girls from 27 U.S. states, four Canadian provinces, and France. In what has become a highly anticipated pre-Masters tradition, kids from 7-15 competed in four age categories as drizzly skies brightened and the sun poked through the clouds. Just to get here they had to make it through local, sub-regional and regional qualifying.   They wore uniforms of solid-colored shirts and caps, but also a pink belt, blue fingernail polish, or a pair of socks commemorating Jack Nicklaus’ 1986 Masters win. They tried to ignore the cameras, one of which hovered conspicuously on a long boom behind the second (15-foot) putt at the 18th green. “I try to focus on what I’m doing and pretend it’s just me,� said Angela Zhang of Bellevue, Washington, who won the Girls 7-9 Division and then deftly handled interviews in Chinese and English. Although she stands just 4 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighs only 75 pounds, Zhang belted a 189-yard drive. Told that all her weightlifting must be paying off, she giggled and shook her head.  Fathers/caddies were in abundance, but there were also moms and aunts and uncles and coaches, plus assorted friends and other family members. Other supporters cheered the kids on from watch parties back home. One boy, asked by a volunteer at the trophy ceremony if he wanted her hold his water bottle, said, “Oh, yes, thank you. I can’t have my fans see me with this.�   Patrick Reed, Bubba Watson, Bernhard Langer, Mark O’Meara, Adam Scott and Mike Weir were among the Masters champions on hand to congratulate the winners, as were legendary LPGA golfers like Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam. “There was nothing like this when I was a kid,� Weir said before going out to play a practice round. “This is pretty cool to be a part of.� Lopez, who never had much luck getting her own daughters to play, took a special joy in seeing the kids at the Drive, Chip & Putt. “It’s fun to see the next generation of golfers have somewhere to set a goal and be a part of,� she said. “I went to dinner with them last night (at the Drive, Chip & Putt reception for contestants and their families). Of course, they’re all eating mac and cheese, hot dogs and chicken fingers.� And ice cream. Don’t forget the ice cream.   Here are the results: 7-9 Boys 1 – Conner Ford, Mount Vernon, New York; 2 – Ryan Nana Tanke, Paris; 3 – Benny Nelson, Los Angeles 7-9 Girls 1 – Angela Zhang, Bellevue, Washington; T2 – Milan Norton, Las Vegas, Nevada; T2 – Briel Royce, Lake Nona, Florida. 10-11 Boys 1 – Sahish Reddy, Duluth, Georgia; 2 – Patmon Malcom, Alpharetta, Georgia; T3 – Ryder Rasmussen, San Juan Capistrano, California, and Aiden Tiet, Milpitas, California. 10-11 Girls 1 – Sophia Li, Fresh Meadows, New York; 2 – Ariana Silva, Sunrise, Florida; 3 – Anna Huang, Vancouver, B.C., Canada 12-13 Boys 1 – Matthew Vital, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; 2 – Ryder Cowan, Edmond, Oklahoma; T3 – Garret Ebbert, Longwood, Florida, and P.J.

The First Look: Sony Open in HawaiiThe First Look: Sony Open in Hawaii

Cameron Smith returns to defend last season's Sony Open in Hawaii victory, while past THE PLAYERS champion Webb Simpson and 10 of the top-25 golfers in the world tee it up at Waialae Country Club. In its longtime spot on the schedule, the Sony Open marks the first full-field event of the calendar year. FIELD NOTES: Collin Morikawa looks to build off his two victories in 2020, including his first major championship, with his second Hawaii start in a row. Morikawa finished T21 at least year's Sony Open after holding the first-round lead... Thirty-two of the 42 golfers who teed it up at the Sentry Tournament of Champions will make the jump over to the Sony Open and complete in both events of the Hawaii swing... Sponsor exemptions include major winners Y.E. Yang and Mike Weir, along with Ryo Ishikawa and Takumi Kanaya, who turned pro last year after reaching No. 1 in the world amateur rankings. Kanaya recently won on the Japan Tour and is already ranked 120th in the world... Five of the top 10 golfers in the FedExCup standings (as of the weekend at the Sentry Tournament of Champions) will be teeing it up at the Sony Open, the highest-ranked being Viktor Hovland at No. 3... Simpson was just one shot out of a playoff between Smith and Brendan Steele a year ago. Steele, who started Sunday with a three-shot lead, returns to try to earn the title that eluded him, while Simpson is on the hunt for his eighth PGA TOUR title. FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 points COURSE: Waialae Country Club, par-70, 7,044 yards (yardage subject to change). The Seth Raynor design, founded 94 years ago, has hosted the Sony Open ever year since 1965. The narrower, flatter layout is a contrast to last week's venue, Kapalua. STORYLINES: University of San Diego golfer and former Hawaii state champion Evan Kawai will make his PGA TOUR debut this week after winning a qualifier in November. His college coach is TOUR winner Chris Riley... Can Charles Howell III continue his impressive effort at Waialae? He has 13 top-25s, including 10 top-10s, in 19 starts at Waialae. That includes two runners-up and two third-place finishes... Smith's 11-under score was the highest winning total at the Sony Open since 2012. He was 4 over par on his first two holes of the tournament... Smith is looking to become the first golfer to defend his title at the Sony Open since Jimmy Walker in 2014-15. There have been just four golfers to go back-to-back at Waialae... Morikawa has a lot of family that lives on Maui and Oahu and visited the island many times growing up. Although there will be no spectators allowed on site, he'll have plenty of good vibes on the island. 72-HOLE RECORD: 253, Justin Thomas (2017) 18-HOLE RECORD: 59, Justin Thomas (1st round, 2017) LAST TIME: Smith defeated Steele in a playoff to capture his first PGA TOUR title as an individual (he and Jonas Blixt won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans the first year it was a team event) with a birdie on the 72nd hole and a matching birdie on the first playoff hole. Steele was 2 over for his final six holes and opened the door for Smith, who had offered to donate $500 for every birdie and $1,000 for every eagle on the week to his home country's effort against the raging Australian bushfire crisis. On the 72nd hole, Steele misjudged his approach shot and had to take a drop, but he still nearly dropped a snaking 30-foot birdie try for the win. He missed, and couldn't get it done in the playoff, either. Simpson finished third (missing a 14-foot birdie try on the final hole to get into the playoff) while Graeme McDowell, Ryan Palmer, and Kevin Kisner rounded out the top five.
